PRE-PRIMETIME PRE-TEENS

Before they found prime-time success in Who's The Boss and Heroes, Danny Pintauro and Hayden Panettiere made a slapsh in daytime as three iconic, pint-sized dynamos from a trio of core families.

At age seven, Danny Pintauro stepped into the role of As The World Turns' Paul, son of Barbara and James. (For details of what a heavy storyline was laid on those second grade shoulders, click here.) Enjoy the clip below: Evidence that, once upon a time, James actually did love Paul - or, at least, loved him in a noticeably less twisted way.

Meanwhile, Hayden Panettiere made her mark as not one but two daytime tots!

What a fantastic episode with James, Barbara, Tom (Justin Deas) and Gunnar! The "softer" side of James... I'd almost forgotten he had one. Thanks for this clip, I really enjoyed it. I really want this show back!!!
